So use National Karaoke Week, held from April 20 to April 26, to tell the man in your life just how you feel. Whether you need to belt out some post-breakup blues or confess your undying affection, we’ve got the perfect tune for you. “Any Man of Mine” by Shania Twain: Set the record straight from the start.

I can’t carry a tune for the life of me, *but* I think we can all agree playing goat to T-Swift’s "I Knew You Were Trouble" makes being stuck in rush hour traffic that much more bearable (Oh, is that just me? NVM). How about adding it to your workout routine? Enter these three singing-whilst-sweatin’ fitness classes.
